Some engines seem to shake a whole lot less on shutdown when set to 1000
RPM.


Then the instruction should be to *set* engine power 1000 RPM before
shutting down.

Telling a pilot to run the engine at 1000 RPM before shutting down is
ambiguous and could (probably will) lead to the pilot simply reducing RPM
before pulling the mixture, after running the engine at 1000 RPM.
Especially if the instruction is to run the engine at 1000 RPM "for a few
moments" (which would clearly imply to reduce RPM again before actually
shutting the engine down).
